More British Cars

paddworth · Aug 31, 2005

I'd love to see a greater british Influence with more decent cars like Continental GT and all the TVRs and Astons and Jags and all those immense super cars of Britain.

Razo · Sep 2, 2005

Yeah, I can think of a number of good examples; fast, or comical...

Aston Martin DB5 '64
Aston Martin DB6 '66
Austin Metro Cooper '81
Bowler Wildcat '03
Freight Rover Sherpa '85
Jaguar MkII '59
Lotus Elite '59
Lotus Elan '91
Mclaren F1 '94
MG Maestro Turbo '89
MG Metro 6R4
MG Midget '68
MG ZS180 '04
MGB Roadster '68
Mini 1275 GT '75
Mini Cooper S Rally Car
Morris Mini Minor 850 '60
Morris Mini Cooper S '67
Noble M12 GTO '03
Rover P6 '70
Sunbeam Tiger '65
Talbot Sunbeam Lotus '81
Triumph Dolomite Sprint '77
Triumph GT6 '74
Triumph Stag '75
Triumph TR3A '58
Triumph TR4A '67
Triumph TR6 '75
Triumph TR7 '77

Not really many supercars, but you can't fault a few lightweight sportcars, or a good laugh.

Update 6/09/05: Added 'supercars' and MG ZS

Ford Transit van... the mule with the Focus RS engine in it... that should be good for a right laugh.

And the London taxi!!!! Something that big and heavy with a small turning circle, should be a good challenge.

Oh, more British classics, please, and let them burst into flames from time to time... for realism.

More TVR's, more Marcos', Noble's would be nice, Radical's, Westfields and more classics too.

Yep id love to see more british cars in the next gran turismo, ive noticed GT4 has some classic 80`s cars, I would like to see the Ford Capri in the game thats a classic and a fast car too would be good in the game, especially if it was the zakspeed capri that can do about 200mph.

Dave_George · Sep 3, 2005

I want the new Ultima GTR - 0-60 : 2.8 - 0-100 :5.9 0-100-0 : 10.3!

No traction control, launch control or ABS brakes. Those times are faster than the McLaren F1......and its built 10 miles from where i live!

Would also love to see some Radicals, westfields and Nobles as we make some genuinely great sports cars!

vtec_guy · Sep 3, 2005

at the festival of speed i saw a transit"supervan" with a ford v10 in it. In the program it said it was a cosworth f1 V10. It was SOOO loud!

I reckon they should put in the ginetta coupe thingys that they use in the playstation gt junior championship. But first I think they should include some British TRACKS. I WANT BRANDS AND OULTON PARK!!!

Venom77 · Sep 3, 2005

Even some of the old ford escort rs's would be good too rs2000 rs turbo's mexico mk1/2 :crazy:

den brakke · Sep 3, 2005

The Mini Clubman and the first Transit Van. :crazy:

F1GTR · Sep 3, 2005

Mclaren F1 (obviously :rolleyes:

)

stumpydino · Sep 3, 2005

supervan!
mk1 had running gear from a gt40 :dopey:

supervan 2 - 500hp cosworth v8

supervan 3 - 650bhp cosworth v8 with benetton 6 speed, but now it appears to be using a 260bhp cosworth V6 and a Hewland box

Freddy · Sep 4, 2005

Yeah I think some more British cars would be nice. Then you could have a really big British championship with 20 cars on the grid all different. That would be cool.

I really love the TVR's!

FooAtari · Sep 4, 2005

Anyone know if their are any video files of those transits in action?

I saw that at the festival of speed and if you heard what it sounds like you'd know it wasnt a 260bhp V6. It was one of the fastest cars on the hill climb and went up against the old primera BTCC car, and even a Jag XJ-R12. It must still have the 650BHP V8, unless its been changed since it visited Goodwood.

amp88 · Sep 4, 2005

There was also a 500bhp Transit in Performance Car a few years back. I think it was an Escort Cosworth engine that had been stuck in, running nitrous too.

hobbsy2 · Sep 4, 2005

j8mie · Sep 5, 2005

Yes please...

...thank you sir! I so want to drive an Aerial Atom round Brands Hatch. Why didn't PD put this in GT4 instead of that stupid Nike car thing???

vtec_guy · Sep 5, 2005

If it was in gt4 then it probably would be a "special car" like the caterham that you cant use in any races.

Danny · Sep 5, 2005

I want an Austin Princess!

The Arial Atom is in PGR2. Easily one of the best cars in the game, if not the best. For some reason they always make for really close races in Multiplayer. 8 player Arial Atom races are amazing!!

LOL. Sounds like great fun. I love them because they are road legal pocket rockets, but being open wheel to can pretend to be a F1 driver :sly:

Your probably right there, but I'd have been more than happy with that.

They handle like Go Karts too!!

I dont understand why you cant race certain cars. Whats the point?

Could at least let you do a single race with a grid full of identical cars, just for the fun of it. Should be able to do that with every model of car in the game, but those types of races should be for fun only, not compulsory to complete the game or I would still be trying to finish GT4 in 2010!!

Dave A · Sep 5, 2005

It was the extra graphics power needed to render the drivers insuch high detail, the PS2 couldn't handle it, you can race a few of the special cars in arcade mode against one other AI car.

Specialized · Sep 5, 2005

British cars rock! here are a few i thought of

JAg xk 120

jag D-type
Jag E-type (the lightweight one)

Metro 6R4

Talbot Sunbeam Lotus!!! what a cool car! who would have guessed a talbot could be so good! Not sure if its a british though as the ownership of the company was all over the place at the time but it was tuned by lotus so i guess its at least half british

Bentley Arnarge Red Label

And even if its there so we can all drool over it id love to see a Bentley Blower in GT, complete with english gentleman wearing his favorite slippers smoking jacket and pipe with his loyal labrador riding shotgun!

crimson_menace · Sep 19, 2005

How about a TWR Jaguar XJ220 R. It's the best car ever! Well....aside from the original XJ220. Nothing tops a classic! :sly:

Danny · Sep 19, 2005

Omologato · Sep 19, 2005

Nah, just fill the game up with Rovers!

Grand Prix · Sep 19, 2005

I want British Racing Motors!!! BRM! BRM! BRM!
Most awesome F1 engine supplier/team in history! Yay!
